    Thank God for Ms. Clark-Flory

    You have advanced how men view women. What I mean is, in a culture where anything a women does is ok, and anything a man does is somehow wrong, the courage to actually point out the obvious in this dating circumstances is impressive. (by the way, be prepared for your sisters to attack you with venom).

    The truth is, if a woman wants to say no, she does not need a series of signals to interpret. When a woman truly means no, she can and usually does make it clear. There is no beating around the bush (no pun intended) she simply says no, that's enough. Then she stands up and that's it.

    So. Congratulations on making a statement about reality. In the world we live in, that has become a rare act.
